' Suggesting that anyone with 3deas for the good of Canada should send thém- along, the board said a simple idea for the welding of twist drills will, it is estimated, save Canada $500,000 a year. The board said it wants more of the same. Just as reminders of what kind of oak trees the acoyns of ideas ean develop, the board listed the following: Someone suggested that the piece of velvet cloth around the top of a broom could be climi- nated and the binding wire short- enced. Changes in the manufactur- ing methods released machines for weaving army cloth and steel for war weapons, A Jew months ago a mother suggested ways to simplify in- fants' and children's garnients, As a result, cloth and labor hours were saved. Another suggestion resulted in the reduction of the overlapping of certain farmers' truck routes, with consequent saving of yas. oline, tires and truck mechan- ism.

A NEW JOB CHAPTER VI Summer nights crowded with pleasant memories warmed Pen- ny's friendship for Jim. She could hardly wait for the end of the day, when Jim would drive up in his nondescript car. They found rutted except to hilltops" erowned with the glories of 'the setting sun. One night in particalar;- Penny always remeber, They had heen driving along in silence, Jim absorbed in his own brow- wrinkling thoughts, Penny drink- ing in the beauties of the moon- lit panorama spread about her. "Penny," Jim said, thought- fully. "How'd yon like to he cap- tain of my team?" Penny smited. "Captain?" "Yes," Jim answered, "1 need someone like you-----"' Penny looked up. quickly, her face beaming. "J mean," Jim was strugeling- for the words, "I nced someone like you on the Courier. We'd make a winning combination, you and 1." He had wanted fo say some- thing quite different--something about the way he really felt. How he missed her. How he longed to have her near him. He hesitated only when he thought of the strug- gles ahead for anyone who would share his threadbare existence. He hoped Penny wonld under- stand. Her answer, spontancous and swift, was a kiss that held them 5 Getoneofthefastest reliefs ever found for headaches, neuritic pain, neuralgia --at incredibly low price 100 tablets for 98¢ Today, druggists all over Canada' are featuring Aspi- rin, recognized as one of-the fastest reliefs from pain ever known, for less than one cent a tablet!

"Working with you, Jim," she told him, "is-like an answer to a dream." - . - They spent exeiting hours, plan- ning, exchanging ideas, excitedly awaiting the day when Penny would leave: Pigtro's 'and' join Jim's small staff, Penny's future promised exciting, thrilling adven- tures, She was at the Courier office carly on her first day of work, cager to begin her new career. The Courier occupied crowded quarters in the basement beneath the branch office of the City Bank. Two big desks faced each other, littered with an astounding accumulation of publicity ve- leases, unopened letters, old news- papers and clippings. A counter stretched across the length of the room. 2 Penny knew from the moment she walked in that she was des- tined to love the smell of printer's ink and the informality which the Courier staff tackled cach crowded day. She knew each morning would be brighter be- cause of Jim's warm smile of wel- come. Penny learned to listen Jim's step as he bounded down- stairs, whistling a carefree little tune. He had cleared a space for her on the desk opposite his own, by sweeping everything off. * ¥ * Penny swung easily into the routine of work. Before Jong, the office lost its dusty, disorderly appearance. Jim wondered how he had manag®d so long without her. -- -- . Pexhaps because she herself was bursting with news and with a vitality that reflected her good © will toward everyone, she found it casy to extract dozens of inter- esting news items. "You're okay," Jim compli mented, as he watched the way she sailed into her work, "You'll be a good newspaperman one of these days." R * Late one afternoon, when Jim had finished deciphering the day's notes which always crammed his pockets, the quiet of the office was shattered by a sudden rush of footsteps on the steep stairway. Penny looked: up, into the fright- ened eyes of a breathless boy. "Mr. Vickers! Mr. Vickers!" he shouted. "A terrible The bridge. Come quick." . Jim shot upstairs. Penny fol- lowed swiftly, helping the tired youngster to negotiate the last steps. Jim's car was already rat- tling impatiently. * * . "It's the centre bridge, Mil Vickers". the boy directed. Jim allowed a siren-blowing ambu- lance to pass, and swung into busy Central avenue, News has a curi- . ous way of spreading swiftly in a small town. Already people were racing toward the scene of the tragedy. Piecing together the story of what. had happened was not hard. Never suspecting that "death was so near, the driver of a huge truck and trailer, loaded with steel, had started across the span. Weakened by age, too tired to support the heavy load, the struc- ° ture had given way. Its twisted steel was a tangled mess. Pinned beneath the wreckage were the driver and his helper, . Penny felt weak and sick at heart. She heard someone say it was lucky the accident had hap- pened between turns, If the men had been leaving the mills, the death toll would have been ter- rible. A \ ; Once again Penny had an op- portunity to admire Jim Vickers in an emergency. He lost no time in making the dangerous descent. to the river, His was the guiding hand that sped rescue.work., The men, must. have known they would be too late. ~ LJ LJ Penny helped Jim into his coat when finally he feturned, His face was white and his. lips were dry, He didn't say anything until they were back in the car, "I have the toughest assign- ment in my life ahead," sald Jim, "You remember Bill, don't you? .The fellow who started fhe fight ' at Pietro's?"' "Yes," eaid Penny, "1 remem- with = for-- accident. | "Bill's brother was helper on that truck. I'll have to tell his wife." The tragedy struck pain fully home. "It's all so unnecessary," Jim protested bitterly, "A new bridge should have been put up two years ago. The money was appropriated, Blueprints were drawn up. Cas- tro's crooked politicians pocketed the funds." + * . Now it was Penny's turn to be furious, « "For weeks I've heard about gorrupt politicians and gangsters and raw deals. For years Kirk- town has been run by a bunch of rotten crooks. Isn't there anyone in this' place with backbone enough to run them out and sce that the town gets a decent break? Are you going to put up with this sort of thing forever?" . "No, Penny," Jim replied grime ly. "This time we will do some- thing. We've been cowards, We've already waited too long." "There's something clse that's troubling me, Jim." Penny chose her words carefully now. "That bridge ran over company prop- erty. Doesn't the Kirk manage- ment care at all? Don't they know what's happening in Kirk- town?" . "The Kirk management! That's - good!' barked Jim. "They. sit back in their beautiful offices in the prettiest building at the coun- "ty seat, and don't know or don't care about anything except black figures on the profit reports." "Then it's high time they learned. a few things," flashed Penny. - * - Silence shrouded their thoughts on the rest of the drive to the Courier office. Penny's flushed cheeks and brightened eyes ex- pressed her determination to act now in the interests of Kirktown. "I'd like to have the day off tomorrow," Penny told Jim, hop- ing he wouldn't ask her to reveal her plan, "Sure, Penny," said Jim. ""I have another request, Jim. I want to do a series of stories that everyone in town will vead. I need your help." "Just name it, Penny," offered Jim, "and I'l do all T ean". ~ "I'd like to spend a few days in the Kirk mills, I'l take my lunch box with me and chat with the boys. 1'd like to get some human interest stories about. the men who make steel," she ex- plained. "Sounds good," Jim admitted. The more Penny thought of the injustices she had witnessed, the angrier she became. ° She was fighting mal by the time she left that night for her return to the Kirk estate.

The Place Where Water Runs Uphill Phenomenon In New Bruns wick Called "The Magnetio Hin" About six miles from Moncton, New Brunswick, thére is a queer and intriguing phenomenon known as "The Magnetic Hill," For years, it was referred to as "the place where, the water runs up hill" and otherwise' thought of very little. Then, the more inquisitive be. gan casting about for a suitable explanation of this unusual occur- rence and certain among them allowed that the deposits of iron ore, which they claim they always knew existed under this hill, exerted force on an automobile and drew it up hill by magne- tism! --Hence, the present name "Magnetic Hill." But the procedure is this: Drive to-a point now marked by a white post. Stop here; shift gears to neutral and turn off the engine of your car. In no time at all, you're off! Up the hill you go-- gathering momentum as you climb! When your car finally comes to a stop on the crest of the hill, look down on the post from which you started. Then try to coast down toward the post. 1t can't be done. Plenty of gaso- line is needed to get you there. Nor is it possible to go much faster than thirty-five miles an hour up the hill that lies just be- yond the "Magnetic Hill."
